🛡 ChessCast Security Policy

🚀 Reporting Security Issues

If you discover a security vulnerability, please DO NOT disclose it publicly. Instead, report it privately to our security team via [thehormat@gmail.com]. We take security issues seriously and will investigate and resolve them as quickly as possible.

⚡ Security Response Process:

  1. Report the issue via email with a clear description and proof of concept (if applicable).
  2. Our team will acknowledge receipt within 48 hours.
  3. We will investigate and provide a status update within 7 business days.
  4. If a patch is required, we will issue an update and notify responsible parties.
  5. We appreciate responsible disclosure and may acknowledge contributors who report valid vulnerabilities.

🛡 Security Best Practices for Developers

To ensure ChessCast remains secure and reliable, developers should adhere to the following security measures:

🔑 1. Secure API Keys & Tokens

  • Never expose API keys (e.g., Telegram Bot Token, database credentials) in your code.
  • Use environment variables (.env) to store sensitive data.
  • Example: Instead of hardcoding: 
    BOT_TOKEN = "your-secret-token"
    Store it securely using: 
    import os
BOT_TOKEN = os.getenv("BOT_TOKEN")

🔒 2. Enforce Least Privilege Access

  • Limit database and API access permissions to only what is necessary.
  • Avoid using admin credentials for general-purpose operations.

🔧 3. Regularly Update Dependencies

  • Keep all libraries and dependencies up to date to patch security vulnerabilities.
  • Run: 
    poetry update

🔐 4. Use Secure Authentication Methods

  • Implement OAuth2, JWT, or API key authentication for external integrations.
  • Enforce strong password policies for users.
